Condition
The canvas is not lined. There do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are some fine lines of circular craquelure to parts of the white background and some surface dirt in places. There is an artist's pinhole to the lower right corner and some very minor paint shrinkage to some of the brown of the table. There is an extremely thick, rich impasto to the flowers. This work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
